"I'm just the sum of my parts. Steel...and a lil a bit of Flint"-Flame Knight

The Flame Knight showed up originally as a mysterious and silent hero. He appeared periodically throughout Erlinion, saving those in danger. Eventually, he came to Faylil and attempted to upstage the heroes of Faylil by taking the quest Mara had left for them.

He begrudgingly agrees to work with the heroes to save Mara's brother, but on the way, he demonstrates cruel behavior, eventually killing the assassin who had captured Flint. Upon seeing the party attempt to save the assassins, he stands in their way. He won't accept self-claiming heroes who attempt to save villains. In a burst of flame, he reveals himself to be Flint, powered up by the Sword of Darkness.

After their battle, Flint is knocked unconscious. In an attempt to save him from the blade's control, the heroes make the tough decision to cut off his arm. He's taken back to Faylil.

He broke out and set off on a quest to find out how to destroy the Sword of Darkness.
